This Land Rover arrived at the workshop motionless — like a warrior who had given everything and now needed to be brought back to life. It wouldn’t start, but its story was still alive. And we decided to restore that life, with deep respect for its essence and an eye on every detail.
We disassembled everything — down to the last rivet. At its core, the original engine, a classic 2.25-liter diesel four-cylinder typical of the Series II/IIA models, became our starting point. Land Rover offered these engines in both petrol and diesel versions, and this one had stood the test of time.
That engine was fully rebuilt — inspected, compression-tested, fine-tuned, and carefully adjusted. We focused on every critical point: crankshaft, bearings, camshaft — the kind of work that makes a restoration truly dependable.
But we didn’t stop at the engine. We rewired the entire electrical system from scratch, installed brand new wiring and lighting, and updated the headlights. A classic should stay true to its roots — but it also has to meet today’s standards. The new lights not only improve visibility but bring safety where it counts.
The bodywork was handled with the same level of care: panels repaired, structure reinforced, and finished in a military sand color — a shade that feels like a uniform on a veteran, ready to head back into service.
We completed the build with new wheels and tires, overhauled suspension and brakes, and thoroughly reviewed every mechanical system. Every part was inspected, rebuilt, or replaced — no shortcuts, just craftsmanship.
This Series 2A no longer sleeps in a corner. It drives, growls, shines. It’s ready to hit rough trails again, to be reliable — just like in its glory days — but with the strength of a modern rebuild. It’s a tribute to off-road heritage, to pure mechanics, and to the spirit of going far.
Today, this Land Rover is not just a restored classic. It’s a living vehicle with a renewed story — ready for another 50 years of adventure.
